Surprisingly while having problems trying to setup a multiplayer game, i read the 911:FR readme, and i found this:

Maybe this will solve peoples problems and find a resolution to not using Hamachi (Not that there is anything wrong with it)

If you want to play 911: FIRST RESPONDERS in a local network (LAN) or in the internet and if you are using a router

or a firewall, you have to pay attention that the following ports have been unlocked:

- port 80

- port 58282 for TCP (Gameport)

- port 12345 for UDP

If necessary, refer to the manual of your router/firewall!

All i did was add these ports to port mapping on my router and i am waiting for a freind so i can test it

I am sure this will be the same for EM4/EM4 Deluxe.

I'll update this post if this worked.

Mike,

With the LAFD, how does their dispatch system work? I've never really grasped the concept of box alarms.

Thanks

Well, I'll just say if anyone does have any Questions about Australian Emergency Services, feel free to send me a PM or reply.

LAPD's Huey is no longer in service and they are waiting to get one of the retired LAFD ones once the new helos are in service. Also, Hoppah has stated numerous times that he wants to keep the rapelling feature a speciality of the National Guard. It just goes to show how little SWAT misses the rapelling when they could retire the big blue bird without having any replacement on tap for quite a length of time.

The one you saw in a video was made by someone as a demonstrator, you'll have to contact that person.

My personal opinion is that it would. I've lobbied hard in the past and still hold out hope for an LACoFD Firehawk to be added with water dropping capabilities to augment the LAFD helicopters air ambulance role. While the model would just be a very minor revision to the current blackhawk in the game, unfortunately, the water dropping aspect attached to a helo has not been solved and probably won't be for quite some time.

The benefit of the helicopter in addition to the plane would be quicker turn around offset by smaller/more concentrated drops.

Possible yes, but LAFD does not use quints. That is why we have the Task Force/Light Force concept.

Thanks Mike,

I'm not too up to date on what apparatus/appliances the LAFD has, but i'll be sure to do a bit of research.

SWAT helicopter was a personal mod by someone, the Army Chopper drops people and the police chopper can carry SWAT too

There is one, use the Medicopter for Helitack(FD)

a quint is a ladder that sprays basically, and this one does, It is Rear mount, Front mount is possible, but I think it was discussed somewhere, and it isn't going to happen

There we go 4 lines to answer it

I'm good, If someone from the team wishes to elaborate, go ahead.

Thanks for answering the other Q's but do let me elaborate on the Firefighting Helicopter.

I am meaning one something like this:

Sort of a cross between a firefighting aeroplane and a Medicopter, but this Helichopper ( ) can drop water.

Though, it may be too advanced for the game. I don't know really.

#1 would be the best by far! No offense to the others and their creators, but #1 just has a flare and professionalism to it that stands out.

Hey,

I saw a SWAT helicopter in a youtube video, but can't quite remember which one. I was wondering is that available to get, or download, etc?

Would a firefighting helicopter be any good in the LA Mod?

Also I was thinking, is a quint ingame possible?

Thanks

Hey,

Well i saw this thread, and i thought it'd be a great opportunity for me to post up some of my emergency service photographs. And also i haven't seen any on the board from Australia either. These appliances are from the NSWFB, in NSW, Australia.

Pumper - Scania P310

It's got a LED message board just above the pump panel.

This is just a general pumper for the NSWFB.

Pump Rescue - Varley Commander

This is a rescue pumper, it carries more rescue gear, but also looses out on some of the standard firefighting gear.

Ladder Platform - Bronto Skylifit F37HDT

This is a ladder platform, it doesn't carry any sort of major firefighting gear apart from a few lines of 78mm and 38mm hose.

It currently reaches 37m high, and is used for rescues and firefighting.

Aerial Pump - Scania Telesquirt

This is an Aerial Pump, it's got a long boom for attacking fires high, from a distance or rescues. The A.P (Aerial Pump) Carries most standard firefighting gear, if not a little more hose. the standard AP's don't carry any rescue gear, but then you get the thigs called CARP - Combined Aerial Rescue Pump, but we just call them APs aswell.

If anyone would like to see more photos or has any questions/comments please feel free to reply here or to send me a PM.

I wonder why we don't have any EM fans from "The land Down Under"?

Where in the World: Australia

Where in Australia: Sydney

Time: Today

I heard they have lots of bush fires down there.

I'm a fan!

I'd love to see a Australian Mod.

I could provide photos/information/etc for anyone who'd be willing to work as a team!

And as for the bushfires, we do have a a lot, but were well prepared to handle them!

Yeah,

I'd love to join the network also.

I've sent you a PM
